Chapter 735: Mountain of Myriad Books: “Oh! h.e.l.lo, everybody~”

Fairy Lychee continued, “Given how hostile the scholars and demons of the Netherworld Realm are toward each other, the scholars must have constantly been researching the weaknesses of the demons and how to gain the maximum value out of their bodies. Perhaps their intent is to use them to forge magical treasures. Anyway, no one in the world should know better than the scholars how to make use of the corpses of the demons of the Netherworld Realm.”
Venerable White nodded his head. Perhaps the scholarly disciples really needed a large number of corpses belonging to the demons of the Netherworld to forge some type of magical treasure.

At the Mountain of Myriad Books.
The members of Jacob’s Production Team had already completed their preparations, and the cameras were ready to get into action.
The next scene they were going to shoot was the one where the guardian beast of the sect, the ‘Heaven Devouring Cat’, would meet Ling Ye while running away after the destruction of the Immaterial Cloud Sect with the few surviving disciples.
At this time, the shooting of more than half of Gao Moumou’s story had been completed.
After the beginning of the shooting of the movie, they had already taken care of the following scenes: Senior Brother Gao Sheng beating up Ling Ye; Senior Sister Murong Hua marrying Feng Chuanzi; Ling Ye getting severely injured and being unable to reach the wedding location; Ling Ye disconsolately leaving the Immaterial Cloud Sect and heading toward the frontline of the battle between the cultivators and the creatures of the demonic realm, fighting b.l.o.o.d.y battles; Ling Ye looking for a place with ample spiritual qi where he could rest after the battles, where he met the female ghost spirit Ling’er later on; Ling Ye discovering the real ident.i.ty of female ghost spirit Ling’er; the destruction of the Immaterial Cloud Sect; the sad scene of Ling Ye rus.h.i.+ng back at the Immaterial Cloud Sect.
All the above-mentioned scenes had been shot already.
According to the plot, Ling Ye would despair and drown himself in alcohol, finally heading toward a city. There, he would meet by chance the disciple of a rich family that would run him over; this important role was given to the kamikaze driver Fairy Dongfang Six.
However, they would have to head toward a modern city to shoot this scene. At that time, the characters that Song Shuhang’s friends were cast as, as well as the ones the remaining seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group played, would make their appearance one after another.
Nevertheless, they were going to skip these scenes for now, and would first shoot the scene where the guardian beast of the Immaterial Cloud Sect, the Heaven Devouring Cat, would meet Ling Ye.
During the shooting of this scene, the main character Ling Ye would finally pull himself together, and swear to destroy the forces of the demonic realm.

As soon as Venerable White and Fairy Lychee returned, they were pulled back to the make-up room.
The seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were secretly discussing something. From the looks of it, they were talking about the incoming battle between the White Cloud Academy and the demons of the Netherworld.
Song Shuhang was first thinking of heading toward the seniors to listen to their conversation. However, he met his roommates Tubo and Yangde along the way.
Thereupon, he changed his mind, and decided to greet his roommates after making sure that the effects of the shapes.h.i.+fting brooch were still there.
During the past few days, Gao Moumou had been together with the movie crew, trying to learn as much as he could. From the looks of it, he was really interested in learning how to shoot movies… his girlfriend was accompanying him and likewise always together with the movie crew.
As for Tubo and Yangde, they were currently chatting with the western monk… or perhaps the western monk was trying to convert the two of them?
As soon as Song Shuhang got closer, he heard the western monk telling Tubo how beautiful having burn marks on one’s forehead was. Then, he explained to the duo about the various religious texts of buddhism, using very extravagant descriptions.
Had Song Shuhang seen this scene earlier, he would have found it quite normal. But now, he had discovered that the western monk was actually a daoist. As such, he felt his liver ache a bit when he saw him describing buddhist religious texts with such care, flaunting about how awesome buddhism was…
At this time, the western monk joined his palms together and said to Tubo and Yangde, “Such being the case, are you two benefactors interested in becoming buddhist monks and accept the blessing of the Triratna?”
“Ahaha.” Tubo laughed and waved his hand, saying, “Great Master, that won’t do. Although your explanation was rather interesting, I would still like to have children in the future. Therefore, you’ll have to excuse me.”
“There is no problem, Benefactor. It’s not too late to become a buddhist monk once you have had children.” The western monk didn’t give up, and then s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Yangde.
“I refuse,” Yangde said calmly. “I believe in science, and not in occult and uncanny things.”
After seeing Yangde’s expression, Song Shuhang was reminded of how he’d been some time ago. Back then, he’d also firmly believed in science and what those nine years of compulsory education had taught him. Then, one day… his view of the world was shattered overnight.
As if that wasn’t enough, those nine years of compulsory education didn’t even teach him how to spin a coc.o.o.n. They had been totally useless, and they deserved a one-star review!
Just as Song Shuhang was in deep thoughts, Yangde turned around toward him, and said, “Shuhang, are you finally back?”
“Ahaha.” Song Shuhang laughed, and said, “I went shopping with a few friends earlier. Did you guys familiarize yourselves with what is happening in these days?”
“Following the movie crew around is rather interesting. In addition, as soon as the filming location s.h.i.+fts to the city tomorrow, the characters that Yangde and I are going to play will also make their appearance.” Tubo laughed. Then, he also added in a low voice, “Still, it’s much better than staying inside Miss Yu Jiaojiao’s villa. While at her place, I was drunk, sober, drunk, sober, and then drunk again. It was fun to drink like that, but I feel that I would have drunk myself to death if I had stayed there any longer.”
Song Shuhang could only make a hollow laugh. Back then, Yu Jiaojiao had really given her all in the hope of getting Gao Moumou to write a few more characters.
But, right at this time, the western monk turned his head around and saw Song Shuhang. After that, he solemnly joined his palms together and greeted him, “Senior Song.”
In the end, Song Shuhang was still his savior, and had to be addressed properly.
Song Shuhang simply waved his hand at him. However, when the western monk called him ‘Senior Song’, Tubo and Yangde looked at Song Shuhang in a strange manner.
“Right. Senior Song, today I received some requests to exorcise spirits. Are you interested in going to exorcise spirits together with me in a few days?” the western monk asked in all seriousness.
He remembered that this senior had learned ❮Ksitigarbha’s Soul Ferrying Scripture❯ from him and seemed really interesting in ferrying souls to the afterworld. As such, he tried to please him with this offer.
The way Yangde and Tubo were looking at Song Shuhang became even stranger.
Song Shuhang continuously waved his hand, and said, “Ahaha, thanks for the offer. We’ll see later.”
After hearing these words, the western monk revealed a simple and honest smiling face. He joined his palms together, and said, “Senior Song, in that case, this poor monk will go play his part. Now, it’s time for my small role to enter the fray.”
After he had said this much, the western monk happily ran away.
